ABSTRACT
The increased number of findings of pathologic tooth resorption in patients who have undergone acute or chronic dental trauma; periodontal tissue diseases; pulp necrosis, as well as in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment necessitates the development of a protocol for dentists-therapists “Diagnosis and treatment of patients (adults) with pathologic tooth resorption” The absence of this protocol makes it difficult to have a unified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of different forms of pathologic tooth resorption.
The aim of the study. To develop a new protocol “Diagnostics and treatment of patients (adult population) with pathologic tooth resorption”.
Objects and methods. To prepare the clinical protocol “Diagnostics and treatment of patients (adult population) with pathological tooth resorption”, a newly developed clinical classification and, in connection with this, targeted diagnostic and treatment methods were used.
Results and discussion. A new clinical protocol of pathological tooth resorption is proposed, which includes its characterization by course, form, depth of lesion, localization on the root surface and prevalence, as well as the main and additional methods of its diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion. Based on the analysis of our own clinical studies and data from foreign and domestic literature, a new clinical protocol “Diagnostics and treatment of patients (adult population) with pathological tooth resorption” has been proposed, which has achieved good long-term treatment results in 91 % of cases.
